Two notes Audio Engineering, the world-leading innovator and manufacturer of load boxes, attenuators and digital cabinet emulators, has just announced Torpedo Reload II The latest instalment in their class-leading reactive load solution legacy marking the definitive watershed in contemporary backline control.

Featuring twin-channel operation, selectable multi-impedance compatibility and true continuous attenuation, Reload II is Two notes most advanced Load Box to date. Its mission is simple: unleash the power of any amplifier or line-level source without compromise. Armed with a ground-up rework of their defining reactive load for a CelestionApproved Load Response, the match is set to drive any amps power-stage (rated up-to 200W RMS) to perfection, retaining all the sonic integrity your performance demands. Scalable from a whisper to a full-throttle onslaught, Reload IIs ultra- transparent dual-mono 215W (per channel) amplifier/attenuator and paired speaker outputs preserve every facet of your tone. Add a Stereo FX Loop, dual Line outputs and GENOME Reload II Edition (software download) into the mix. Not to mention, Reload MKII doesnt just enhance your rig, it redefines it.

CelestionApproved Load Response

Feel, Response, Tone theyre the bedrock of any performance, all rooted in a premier load-response thats second-to-none. Its this mantra thats spawned Reload IIs all-new reactive load and the final word in next-generation Load Box technology. For starters, a ground-up rework of Two notes load design delivers an impedance curve inspired by the iconic Celestiondriver line for an industry-first CelestionApproved Load Response. Fuse this with switchable multi-impedance capability (4-, 8- and 16), and youre locked to get the best out of every amp in your collection.

Whatever Your Rig, Reload It!

Whether its a Modeller, Fly-Rig, Amplifier or Amp Sim, Reload II is specd to deliver on any mandate. First-up, a multi-impedance Amp In and dual Line inputs make hooking-up anything from a 200W amplifiers power stage to a dual-mono/stereo line level source a snap. Throw twin-channel operation into the mix complete with independent source selection per channel and Reload II delivers on any scenario from the bedroom to the mainstage.

Unleash the Beast, Silence the Roar

Its a fact: dialing in your amps sweet spot means driving its power stage. The downside? Your drivers going to move a lot of air! The answers simple: Reload IIs twin-channel continuous attenuator fueled by an integrated ultra-transparent power amplifier. In a nutshell, its everything you need to experience the harmonic saturation, organic feel and dynamic response only a pushed tube amp can yield all with total control of your partner cabs output.

Maximum Firepower!

From a Line Level source to a low powered amp or simply a scenario calling for a secondary speaker output Reload IIs twin-channel sonic muscle delivers a mighty 215W per cab output, elevating even the most modest rig to mainstage status!

Loop Command

For apex-level FX integration, look no further than Reload IIs Footswitchable Stereo FX Loop. Packing Series/Parallel routing facilities, Return Dry/Wet Mix controls and Dual Mono / A->B Link Modes, its primed for adding a full-featured Stereo FX loop to your amplifier or even kicking-out a quasi-W/D/W configuration using just two cabinets.
